Fantastic defense from Morris!!!..

and Zu gets his 2nd fouls already. SMH great job

I don't know why we look so checked out in some of these games. Most everyone but Kawhi looks off. Too much partying before day games?

Morris and PG with 0 combined pts in the 1st. Can't happen.. the Knicks look like the more motivated and energized and better coached team right now. Lethargic.

Here we go again. No defense and a big lead already blown. Absolutely hate how this team plays in these early weekend games.

Morris has been absolutely terrible so far. Reminiscent of those Lakers games last year.

Putting Bev on Randle was always going to wreck the defense. Teammates had to help which left shooters open

*Kawhi is the dumbest superstar.

Really don't get it this no big no playmaker lineups from Lue. Are we kind of an enemy to effective basketball?

If any benefit it seems the Knicks do tend to start games hot and then cool off and lose the leads late. It’s not a given this will happen today but it’s a possibility the main guys start to tire down

Been a tough game so far, but the Knicks are playing great.

I think we can still win it.

You have got to be **** kidding me. we literally start the 2nd half w PG holding the ball for 20 seconds just to pass it last minute to Morris, followed by a PG turnover where is once again is the PG.

Why is this the gameplan? It's been established he's an awful playmaker, Get the ball to our POINT GUARD!!! Come on.

PG isn't the problem so far today. Your "second option" Morris has been awful all game. We're also not playing any defense at all.

Kawhi's shot selections are very questionable. His BBIQ is very low comparing the other superstars.
